In 1721 a 20-year-old soprano employed at the princely court in Köthen married the court's Kapellmeister, set to become the greatest composer of the age. As his second wife she married into a young family with four children, and a busy household filled with music. The music book that Johann Sebastian Bach presented to his new wife Anna Magdalena in 1722, and replaced more lavishly in 1725, treats us to a tantalizing glimpse inside this unique family, allowing us to sit beside Bach as a composer, teacher, husband and father. Over the years, these notebooks became a place for the family to share instructional exercises, favourite pieces - by Bach and other composers - to play or sing, early composition efforts from the children, and first versions of some of Bach's more ambitious keyboard works.Drawn from Christoph Wolff's new and cutting-edge scholarly edition of the complete Anna Magdalena Notebooks, Edition Peters is proud to present a new volume of shorter and easier pieces from the notebooks, perfect for practical use by students of all ages and their teachers.Urtext edition by pre-eminent Bach scholar Christoph Wolff, Harvard Professor and former Director of the Leipzig Bach Archive Represents the very latest in Bach scholarship, reflecting up-to-the-minute research on texts, authorship and copyistsA selection of the most popular pieces from the two notebooks in a practical student edition Contains works for keyboard and vocal pieces, following the practice of musical education and performance in Bach's home.

This volume of the National Edition is published in the Series B which contains works published posthumously. The basis for this edition is taken from the original sources, i.e. autographs, copies and prints corrected by the composer or, if possible, other reliable sources. All the changes and supplementations - if they are necessary - are graphically distinguished from the text. In the Source Commentaries musicologists will find fundamental information about the sources together with an evaluation of the degree of their authenticity, a description of mutual connections (called filiation) and a discussion of the more important divergences as well as the principles of editing the music text of particular works. In the music text, beside Chopin's fingering, we give, in different type, the fingering used in contemporary concert practice and the Performance Commentaries explain all these elements of music notation which may raise doubts today. They include: writing out the ornaments in full, pedalling indications, suggestions as to the realisation of harmonic legato and alternate fingering.
